It’s sad that when we think of a philosopher we don’t think of somebody tough. We don’t think of a soldier or a skilled professional. We don’t think of a happily married parent raising kids. We don’t think of someone thriving amidst the chaos of the world.No, for some reason, we think of an academic. We think of somebody scrawny. We think of someone whose life is mostly sedentary, mostly spent at a desk with their stacks of books around them and their scrolls in front of them.-In part 2 of today's Ask Daily Stoic, Ryan talks stoics and answers questions in NYC during Obstacle is the way for 160 Hunter Douglas leaders from across the world.
